Dimmers respond to buttons 1 and 8 on the VARILIGHT remote control handset, and can be taught any other button (2 to 7).

  1. Tap the touch button 6 times, roughly once per second. After 6 taps the lights will step up and down and go off.

  2. Within 15 seconds, from less than 1 metre away and pointing directly at the button on the dimmer, briefly press the chosen button on the handset. The lights will turn on and off.

  3. To confirm your choice, briefly press the same button again. The lights will turn on and off, then step up and down once to confirm.

  4. Try the remote control. If the dimmer does not respond, go back to step 1 and try again. If it still does not respond, try a different button or a different remote control.

For 2-gang models, repeat the steps for each gang, teaching each one a different button.

Save and recall lighting scenes (YRE8 handset)

If you have more than one remote control dimmer in the same room (or a 2-, 3- or 4-gang dimmer), the YRE8 handset can create, save and recall up to 4 lighting scenes.

  1. Check that the blue light at the top of the handset is off. If it is on or flashing, press SHIFT once or twice to clear it.

  2. Use the buttons 1 to 4 to change the brightness of each dimmer to create a lighting scene that you like.

  3. Save the scene by pressing SHIFT twice (so the blue light is flashing), then press one of the buttons 1 to 4 to save the scene to that button.

  4. To recall a scene, press SHIFT once or twice so the blue light is on, then press the button you saved the scene to.

Dimmers respond to button 1 on this handset. To use buttons 1 to 4 for separate dimmers, teach each dimmer its button (see "Remote control").

You can overwrite a scene at any time by repeating the steps.
